Shen Yun Is Performing at the Highest Level, Says Company Owner

DALLAS—Glendon Paulk, the owner and chief operating officer of a commercial leasing and finance company, enjoyed a date night with his wife at Shen Yun Performing Arts.

Stepping out of the AT&T Performing Arts Center on Jan. 5, Mr. Paulk had high praise for the show’s beauty and thought it was “very nice to be able to experience and learn a little bit about another culture.”

“[Classical Chinese dance] is a fantastic art form and a beautiful dance,” he said. “I really appreciated [the opportunity] to take a moment and take it all in and remember that there is much more than just yourself.”

In 2006, Shen Yun was established in New York by artists who dreamt of reviving China’s 5,000 years of divinely inspired culture.
Through a series of classical, ethnic, folk, and story-based dances, as well as solo musical performances, Shen Yun is rediscovering and sharing with the world the lost beauty of pre-communist China.

“This all was amazing. All the movements, the dancing, the colors, and the choreography has been excellent,” Mr. Paulk said enthusiastically.

“Everyone is performing at a very high level. The music was outstanding—It’s been the best acoustics I’ve ever heard.”
According to the company’s website, Shen Yun’s orchestra is the first in the world to combine ancient Chinese and Western instruments permanently.

Seamlessly blending the grandeur of a Western orchestra with the ethereal beauty of Chinese melodies, Shen Yun musicians produce a profound emotional range that captures the depth of the human experience.

Mr. Paulk also enjoyed how spirituality was portrayed in Shen Yun.

“It’s a nice expression of what they believe in and what they feel. It’s all presented in a very beautiful way,” he said, adding that the night made him feel that we could all “appreciate one another a little bit more.”

Overall, he thought Shen Yun was very inspirational and presented a true and pure beauty.

“It’s amazing to see that everyone, from the orchestra to the dancers, has [put in] a lifetime of work and dedication to perfect what they do,” he stated. “They are at the highest level.”
